“We threw a lot on Jesse's plate last summer with academics and we got him committed to the weight room, so he didn't play summer ball. But it paid dividends and we think he could be one of the premier arms in the league; he's made such gains physically. He's going to be our closer right out of the gates and we'll see how that works. It's the age old question; do you want your best arm starting one day out of the week or do you want to see him in relief three or four times a week? If it plays out that we don't have enough save opportunities to get to him, we'll change things, but we think we will.”

- Coach Pete Hughes
